I get about 30% waste on trimming up a whole tenderloin, so it's almost never to my benefit to re-cut my own if I'm buying locally and there's not a killer sale. TBF, I trim exceptionally lean, and some of that waste becomes steak sandwiches. For less than $11/lb (with filler and instacart filler to get to 30%) Choice tenderloin is a no-brainer.
USDA Prime accounts for the top quality 3% of all beef sold in the US.
USDA Choice accounts for the top 20% of all beef sold in the US.
USDA inspections choose the grade based on marbling and styrations within the muscle of the beef loin
USDA Choice is what most steakhouses serve unless they specifically advertise USDA Prime.
It is fine for your backyard cookout and for serving guests.
Certified Angus simply means it's from an Angus herd that is registered with the USDA.
Dry aged is a process in which the meat is hung in a controlled environment while breaking down and releasing moisture.
USDA Prime certified Angus Dry Aged Ribeye will cost you $70 per pound and it's a very high quality and delicious steak is you know how to cook it.
USDA Choice ribeye is $20 per pound and is a delicious steak is you know how to cook it.
The difference is that the premium beef is better

There is absolutely nothing wrong with choice, but do be aware of what you're getting. Less marbling, more connective tissue (that is, tougher).

Was this your first foray going to an Aldi? It's not a typical supermarket with multiple departments. That's one of the ways they keep costs down.

Rib roasts can be further defined as prime or not, depending on which parts of the ribs the cut comes from, and this grade is different than the prime grade that we distinguish from choice.
You can have prime grade prime rib roast, prime grade rib roast, choice grade prime rib roast, or choice grade rib roast.
This Aldi sale is probably for choice grade rib roast.
